Chapter 1

Kate stared into the mirror, pulling her long, ginger hair into a tight ponytail. Her blue eyes, cold and piercing, glared back at her—a cruel reminder of her father. She hated those eyes. But today wasn’t about her eyes or her father. Today was about survival.The company was sacking every single employee in her department due to a financial setback, including her. She needed to make an impression, to convince the committee that she couldn't be replaced. She smoothed down her blue satin blouse, paired neatly with black palazzo pants, and stepped into her black stilettos, feeling their familiar pinch.The Los Angeles streets were already swarming with people, as she made her way to the crowded bus stop.

As soon as the bus doors hissed open at her stop, she quickly moved out and mad

Chapter 2

“Miss Kate, your mom can’t keep relying on these drugs forever,” Dr. James said, his tone serious. “She will eventually need to undergo surgery.”Kate felt her heart plummet. “So, without the surgery… she can’t live. Is that what you’re saying?”Precisely,” Dr. James replied. “She can survive without it for now, but she won’t remember most things. The drugs are keeping the tumor at bay, but it’s extremely dangerous. The tumor is eating deeper into her hindbrain, and within weeks, she’ll start experiencing memory loss.Based on the recent scan, she’s due for another one soon.”As the doctor spoke, his words blurred together. Kate broke down, tears streaming down her face, her body shaking with silent sobs.“Miss Kate, there’s no need to cry,” Dr. James tried to console her. “If we perform the surgery soon, she has a chance.”But where am I supposed to get the money for her surgery?” Kate choked out. “I just lost my job. I can’t lose her too…”The doctor’s face softened as realizati

Chapter 3

”Startled, Kate looked up, her eyes still red and puffy. “Who the hell are you, and how is that your concern?” she shot back, her tone defensive. She didn’t have the strength for strangers pretending to care. Sebastian was taken aback by her bluntness. People usually recognized him—either for his looks, his wealth, or his reputation. But this girl seemed genuinely ignorant.“You don’t know who I am?” he asked, expressing disapproval, more amused than offended.“Are you some kind of celebrity I’m supposed to know?” Kate responded, her irritation flared up. Distraction wasn't what she was looking for. He leaned back in his seat with a faint sigh. “Not exactly, but I am someone who can help you.”Kate’s brows furrowed. “Help me? With what?”Sebastian’s expression turned serious, his eyes locking onto hers with an intensity that made her uneasy. “I have a job offer for you. Something… unconventional.”Kate felt a chill run down her spine. She’d overheard a strange conversation

Chapter 4

“Sebastian... so what you're trying to tell me right now is that you’re engaged?” His father wheezed through the oxygen mask, his eyes narrowed with suspicion.“Yeah, Dad,” Sebastian replied, his voice steady but his jaw clenched. “I’ve been dating her for a while now. I met her through Jay, and I love her.”His father’s eyes widened slightly, a weak chuckle escaping him. “You love a girl you met through Jay... and she’s not after your money? She’s not another Susan?”The moment his father mentioned Susan’s name, Sebastian's shoulders tensed. His expression hardened, a dark shadow crossing his face. The name was like a knife twisting in his gut. “She is not Susan,” he said coldly, his voice dropping to a chilling calm. “And she never will be. She didn’t even know who I was. She was just being herself.”“You must love this girl,” his father rasped, his eyes gleaming with something close to disbelief. “You’re even defending her.”If only he knew the truth, Sebastian thought,

Chapter 5

Sebastian hastily exited the hospital lobby, moving with deliberate and light steps to track down Kate using the bodyguard's updates. Beneath his composed demeanor was simmering frustration. He murmured to himself, "She's about to start a scandal, and we're not even married yet."He rang the doorbell as soon as he got to the house. Kate opened it, startled and widened-eyed."Hello, how are you here? Wait, why and how?" Kate stumbled, confused and scared in her voice."Who's there at the door?" Jasmine came running out of the house and called out. “Kate quickly whispered, "Nobody," but it was already too late. Jasmine was there already."Are you familiar with him?" With suspicious brow furrows, Jasmine inquired. Sebastian's mouth formed a chilly, menacing smile. "Exactly, are you familiar with me?" he asked in jest. Kate blurted out, her voice unsteady and her eyes blazing with dread. "He's a... friend.”Nonsense," Sebastian deftly corrected. Hi there, I'm her fiancé. Nice to

As the nurse finished her assessment and left the room, Richard turned to kate, his expression earnest. “Thank you for being here, kate. It means a lot to me.”“I’m glad I could come,” she said sincerely. “I want to support Sebastian and your family.”As the visit progressed, kate felt an unexpected weight settle over her.

Chapter 8

She sighed, the weariness spilling out. “I was with Jasmine to tell her about my pains. My mom is sick, and she wanted company. I went to the hospital.”Sebastian’s expression softened slightly, but his brows remained furrowed. “And?”“And my mom kept asking for my dad,” she blurted, rubbing her temples. “It’s hard seeing her like that. She thinks he’s still here, you know? It’s like she’s lost in her own mind,And what about us,Sebastian? You never talk about us. What do you even like?”The question hung in the air, heavy and unyielding. Kate’s heart raced, a mix of anger and sorrow bubbling up. “I don’t know what you like either! We’re just... here. You and me, but it feels like we’re strangers.”His silence felt like a wall between them, each moment amplifying the distance. She took a deep breath, trying to ground herself. “I didn’t mean to stay out so late. I just—”“Does she have the best Doctor…and Kate I am always busy you know “It’s not about been busy,it is about communication

Chapter 9

Susan stood outside the sleek, glass building, her heart racing as she watched the world bustle around her. The news of Sebastian’s marriage to Kate had hit her like a cold wave, but a burning desire had ignited within her. She needed to see him, to remind him of what they once had—and of what he was now missing.Taking a deep breath, she pushed through the revolving doors, the sound of her heels clicking sharply against the polished floor echoing in the spacious lobby. Her mind raced with schemes, calculating how she could manipulate the situation in her favor.As she approached the elevator, she spotted Sebastian across the lobby, laughing with Kate, who looked radiant in a tailored suit. The sight of them together twisted something deep in her stomach. But Sebastian had always been vulnerable to her charm, and she couldn’t let his new life deter her.The elevator doors slid open, and she stepped inside, mind racing with possibilities. Once on the correct floor, she found herself st

Chapter 10

After lunch, they went about the remaining day like nothing had happened at all….when they got back home, they both went to their various rooms without uttering a word to each other….Sebastian descended the stairs, the weight of the day pressing on his shoulders. As he entered the kitchen, the rich aroma of sautéed garlic and fresh herbs enveloped him. There, standing at the stove, was Kate, dressed in snug bum shorts and a cropped top, her hair casually pulled back. She moved with a fluid grace, the warm light catching the curve of her smile as she hummed softly to herself.His heart skipped a beat, but a flash of memory intruded—Susan, in a similar outfit, her laughter filling the kitchen as she prepared dinner with the same enthusiasm. The thought slipped away quickly, but not without leaving a shadow.“Hey,” he said, taking a seat on the island. He watched her for a moment, the way she stirred the pan, but his smile didn’t quite reach his eyes.“Surprise! Thought I’d cook tonight
